Roland’s latest TR-8, TR-8S, TR-08, and TR-09 drum machines are now Serato DJ OSA-ready thanks to Serato and the Serato DJ Pro 2.1.1 Public Beta. The new TR-SYNC functionality allows beta DJ participants to effortlessly match the BPM of TR drum machines with Serato DJ Pro tracks. TR-SYNC also lets DJs add their own drum loops to songs containing the same Roland drum sounds used on the most popular tracks of yesterday and today. This gives DJs the ability to flip genres, beef up classic hits, remix, and transition between songs in cool new ways.
